Loved reading this post, some really clever stuff you've done on the self made items, a proper built not bought car.

I still like the MK3 Golfs and think their following will only get stronger, if i don't convert my MK2 with a VR6 I fancy finding a nice MK3 VR6 to go with it.

Well done.

Cheers matey, I definately agree, the long hated MK3 is coming into its own at long last, as standard it never really looked like a GTI but with a few subtle mods here and there you can get em looking really nice.
Would have got a VR myself if I could have found a decent one for the right money at the time

The 8v engines in the Mk3 pull ok and, in my experience, are reasonably reliable if looked after but the engine conversion is defo summat I will be doing in the future

A little update of what I've been up to lately, FINALLY managed to mod my headlight switch, after destroying 2 of them and much head scratching i came up with this
